About our party fish and chip van in Slaugham
A chip van works for birthdays, garden parties and family celebrations. It is food every generation enjoys. We are frequently asked to cater street parties and kids’ birthday parties, with gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Country parties near Slaugham suit a chip van: cooked to order and eaten on the lawn. Have a firm back-up spot for wet weather. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Slaugham
Is Slaugham close to London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you come to Slaugham?
Yes, we do. Slaugham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van come to our street party?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
